Abstract

Anthropometric measurement:

“Nutrition anthropometry has been defined as the “measurement of the variation of the physical dimensions and the gross composition of the human body at different age levels and degrees of nutrition (Jelliffe,1966).

Physical dimensions of the human body are much influenced by:

  • Biological factors
  • Genetic background
  • Environmental factors (season, climate, socioeconomic, nutrition, exposure to infection/infestation), and
  • Psychological factors.

Anthropometric measurements like weight and height were recorded for both groups of respondent and are presented in this chapter.
